Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joshua Lynch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Simmons (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lynch kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dezarie / Most High. Simmons has chosen Sound of MAdness - Shinedown as his entrance music. Joshua Lynch has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?

Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Santana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jet Li (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Santana might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Check My Swag. Antonio Santana could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jet Li's chin.
